docthor Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Posted May 3, 2013 feel free to do so...they're made to be shown
Archetypal Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 Hands down think it is probably a contender for 2013 Rep of the year. My word that's a statement! Thanks for chiming in on this, it really does seem to be a beast of a watch.
dutchguy2 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 Mine say's hello Doc. Altough this is a fully modded SSD V2.
misterlau78 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 And another introduction for today Last week I received my "accidently" orderd ultimate superlumed Sea Dweller from Trusty Time Why accidently??...because I didn't even think about of ordering a Sea Dweller...but once I saw this beauty (whoever did that review I was reading...my wife hates you ) I couldn't resist This SD is pretty well made. The only flaw that came directly to my eyes is the crown...I already orderd one from TC The second thing is the bracelet...they put on a 93250...a TC93160A is on its way The watch runs like a champ with only 4sec + (Kello checked), is waterproof out of the box (100m they say...will let it being checked at Domis...) and has a pretty good PR of 35h Well...nuff said...here are the pix... Hi DocThor, I am interested to get myself this beauty as well. I did some research and found this write-up regarding SD - http://petemillar.com/rolex/rolex.htm. Could you share, based on the review, how close is this rep to the gen? Thanks
rollout Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 Will this SD accept all gen parts? I'm specifically looking for it to accept gen insert and crystal. Thanks in advance and great looking watch.
deanr Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 Will this SD accept all gen parts? I'm specifically looking for it to accept gen insert and crystal. Thanks in advance and great looking watch. If its the same construction as the first version then it wont take a gen crystal, on the gen the detachable rehaut fits inside crystal gasket, on the rep the rehaut just sits in under the gasket/crystal and the diameter is too large to fit inside a gen gasket
monkeypunch Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 I received mine today. I'm normally into vintage pieces, but after all the acclaim I had to check this one out. First thing I did was replace hands with Clark's and slapped it on a nato. The dates were lined up nicely on mine. Nice watch for the money.
Randy Pangborn Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Is there supposed to be an etched coronet at 6 o'clock or not? Can't seem to find a straight answer on the Gen Rolex forums. I know this group is more informed!
stratcat Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Will the BP SD take gen parts? A gen crystal for insatance. Is the case built to gen specs, unllike the Jackjo SSD? Disregard. Didn't notice the earlier posts. Edited May 24, 2013 by stratcat
Ephry73 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 Someone needs to take one apart for all of us to see
mikeshark007 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 Is there supposed to be an etched coronet at 6 o'clock or not? Can't seem to find a straight answer on the Gen Rolex forums. I know this group is more informed! No the Gen model does not have the LEC at the 6 marker for this version.
docthor Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Posted May 26, 2013 ...and this rep doesn't either, just like the gen Sent from my wooden drums using Tupperware.
Alex6340 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Hi guy, thinking about to buy this one. Some questions left: - is the strap that bad? - is the insert glued or popped in? Thanks for helping Alex
docthor Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Posted July 19, 2013 Well...the bracelet isn't that bad. It's just not as good as the TC is and since the TC is that cheap there is no reason not to buy it .For the bezel I've no clue. It looks so good I'd no intention to change it Sent from my wooden drums using Tupperware
chango Posted July 20, 2013 Report Posted July 20, 2013 I decided to try it out and I just ordered one. And a DSSD for comparison.
grifter Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 any update doc? have you swapped the crown and bracelet? i'm thinking about getting one to tinker with
docthor Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Posted September 25, 2013 Uhhh...well...I swapped the bracelet but not the crown and sold it some month ago Sent from my wooden drums using Tupperware
Albertopg Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 Hello where i can find the bracelet TC ? I am new in this forum and i will like to find the best sd and this look grieat. One moré question it is important to buy with the swiss or the cheap one it is enought Thanks a lot in advance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
live1 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 mserial gen does have lec .the bpsd is wrong in this regard as bp sd is mserial email tc for braclet hands etc
docthor Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Posted December 4, 2013 Just google for TC blog and you'll find it.I don't think one should go for the Swiss ETA offered from the TDs. They're most likely build out of old, crappy Swiss ETAs with Chinese parts. The A2836 would be the better choice since they are new Sent from my wooden drums using Tupperware
